What is the difference between encouraging and requiring? It is a huge, vast expanse of a difference. How would you feel if the state, Govco itself, required you to do good? Not your Parent’s, not your Preacher but the Government. That is exactly what a Democrat Senator from North Carolina wants to do. Democrat Tony Rand wants to require college students to mentor high school students 20 hours per SEMESTER in order to receive a bachelor’s degree from NC colleges and universities.

Can you believe this? It’s one thing to want your son or daughter to volunteer to do public service. To maybe work in the Big Brother/Sister program (which I did in college myself) or to clean up a highway or maybe to work at a homeless shelter is great and wonderful. But, to require them to do that in order to graduate? What a bunch of pompous crap! What if I want to go to college and just focus on my education? Not get involved in sports or social things but just to work at my grades (since I am forking over buckets of money to them)? According to this Senator, I cannot do that. I will have to be, in essence, a legal slave. Worse than that, I will be actually giving money to them to do work. What a Jackass!

Ok, now, here is the best part of this whole load of cow manure. He has named this bill after Eve Carson and Abhijit Mahato, two NC college students who were brutally murdered this year. According to the Senator, if the thugs, the scum who murdered these young people had just been mentored by some college students, perhaps they would not have fallen to such a low state and committed these heinous acts. They are just “badly misdirected anti-social youth” who put a gun to the head of an innocent young person and pulled the trigger. He states this program “would help at-risk youth because college students can set a good example for children.” Of all the self-servicing, pandering, slimy, lowlife idiots that work in Govco, this has GOT to be the worst. Sorry Senator, these are repeat felons who were back on the streets instead of behind bars where they belonged and to name this bill after Carson and Mahato is the ultimate in pandering. The ultimate in pond scum. Why is it the ultimate? HE HAS NOT EVEN TALKED TO THE PARENTS OF THESE MURDERED STUDENTS!!!!! He is just taking it upon himself to name the bill after them. What a pompous idiot! I simply cannot find the words to describe this man (well, I can but I don’t want to print them here). Why not do something like get some bills passed that will keep these murderers behind bars longer?

You know, does it really surprise you that this is a liberal democrat? These bed wetters simply salivate like Pavlov’s famous dog over social engineering projects like this. They believe that it is up to Govco to take care of you and make sure that everyone contributes to society. If they don’t, they will just require it.

Simply put, can we get yet another moratorium on Liberal jerks like this? On social engineering? On Jackasses?

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” – Obama

If this quote from over the weekend doesn’t tell you all you need to know about how much Liberals and Govco in general want to run every aspect of your life, I don’t know what will. From seat belt and helmet laws to what you eat, Govco wants you…every bit of you.

Aren’t you tired of having to endure this? “Did you get out and golf today Chuck?” “Not with the long ‘honey do’ list I had. Hahahahaha”. “Well, maybe this next story then will help you avoid things like that.” “Well, just don’t tell my wife!” “Oh, hahahahahaha”.

The Left is all in a tizzy because Bush, while over in Israel, dared to call the Left what they are…a bunch of pansies. Their big beef is that he did it on foreign soil. Well, that sure didn’t stop Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter or Nancy Pelosi from doing the exact same thing but you won’t hear the media or the Left bring up ANYTHING when they do. In fact, when people did bring it up at the time, they were criticized for “negative attacks”. What a bunch of crap. It is just SO hypocritical what is going on here. Hell, Jimmy Carter practically gets in bed and spoons up to Terrorists while Al Gore constantly rips apart the entire US population yet, we here NOTHING about that. It’s only when Bush does it.

Speaking of hypocrites, Mark Elrod is whining about this over on his blog again. Although, to be fair, Elrod is still singing the praises of what a great President Jimmy Carter was so, really, who can take him seriously (except himself, of course).

The best thing Bush said was this:

“As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared, ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.'”

That is EXACTLY what the Left says and does. They always talk about “we just need to talk then peace will come” crap. Hey! I am all for peace talks but, many times, those just don’t work. The Liberals today are just like Neville Chamberlain with his “peace for our time” BS. (is Elrod related to Chamberlain? They both look quite similar and have the same wimpy beliefs…hmmmmmm). For an example, all you have to do is look at Bill Clinton. The US was attacked again and again during his administration yet, the only thing he did was lob some missiles over and destroy an aspirin factory to distract people while he was dealing with getting a Monica from Monica.

It takes people like Ronald Reagan who called the USSR “an evil empire” and didn’t back down from it. He didn’t apologize for it. I hope Bush doesn’t apologize for this because it’s true!

I would call for a moratorium on the hypocrites of the left but…I think I already did a year ago!

Can you believe this crap? Who gives a flying fling that he called some reporter “Sweetie”? You know, I may not like his politics but come on!!! Give me a break!!! This is what the Liberal politically correct crowd has brought us. 20 years ago, this would not even be an issue but today, he has to apologize for it. It’s garbage and it stinks.

Once again, let’s get a moratorium on being politically correct. I miss being able to use some words!

No, we’re not talking about Vietnam War Vet John Kerry here. This is about the idiots who wear flip flops to work. Well, let me re-phrase that. How about the idiots who wear flip flops to work when their office policy forbids it? Yeah, that’s better.

What is it with people who don’t care to abide by their companies dress code? You know, there is a reason why they are not allowed…THEY ARE TOO DAMN LOUD!!! You are sitting there, trying to work and you have to hear “SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP” as someone walks by your desk. What’s worse, is when you look up and see it’s some dude. How gay can you be to wear jeans and flip flops to work as a guy? Either that or ya gotta be some left over hippie liberal college professor.

The worst is when you have to endure not only the “SLAP SLAP SLAP” but also the “POP POP POP” of someone also smacking their gum at work.

Calling for a moratorium on flip flops at the office…regardless if it is “Casual Friday” or not!

As the latest Obamamania surge sweeps across the county, George Will has written an excellent article on questions that Obama really needs to answer. Of course, he won’t. Of course, the steady stream of Obamagasms will continue, unabated. In fact, I think our old friend Mark Elrod has at least four or five a week. I wonder how he would answer some of these excellent questions Will asks. One in particular that I like is:

• ExxonMobil’s 2007 profit of $40.6 billion annoys you. Do you know that its profit, relative to its revenue, was smaller than Microsoft’s and many other corporations’? And that reducing ExxonMobil’s profits will injure people who participate in mutual funds, index funds and pension funds that own 52 percent of the company?

or

• You say, “The insurance companies, the drug companies, they’re not going to give up their profits easily when it comes to health care.” Why should they? Who will profit from making those industries unprofitable? When pharmaceutical companies have given up their profits, who will fund pharmaceutical innovations, without which there will be much preventable suffering and death? What other industries should “give up their profits”?

We need a moratorium on politicians and their followers who, like Ross Perot, speak a lot but actually say very little.

I used to be guilty of this. For years I would just eat my lunch at my desk and not think a thing of it. That was when I didn’t have someone sitting right across for me. For years I had great desks. Well, over the past few months, since I moved to another part of the office, I now understand how annoying this can be.

The smells. The smacking. The gulping. The talking with their mouth full. It’s disgusting. Actually, I should really separate the two. First of all, someone comes back with their lunch (either nuked in the microwave or a quick stop at good burger) and soon the smell is wafting over to my side. If I have not had lunch or, maybe, not going to have lunch, just that smell is horrible to deal with. Now, if I have had lunch or, worse, if what they are eating is nasty (such as egg salad), I don’t want to smell that. Any sort of smell has no place at a desk where I am crunching numbers and trying to work. That’s why we have a break room!

Secondly, eat with your mouth closed!!! I have this co-worker who sits across from me. They cannot eat lunch without smacking their lips, gulping their drink, occasionally burping (yeah..you heard right) and laughing when they have a load in their mouth.

Anyone else have this problem (those of you in offices)?

Let’s get a moratorium on the “I’m just too busy to leave my desk for 15 minutes while I eat even though I am getting no work done anyway since I am eating but I still don’t want to walk to the break room” kind of people.
